2016 ncaa

this is starting fyi

go to hell carolina

Go Duke.

theres a bunchof new rules

Reducing the shot clock from 35 to 30 seconds (same as the women's game).
Providing offensive players the same verticality protections as defensive players.
Extending the restricted-area arc from 3 feet to 4 feet from the basket.
Reducing the number of team timeouts from 5 to 4, with a limit of no more than 3 timeouts in the second half.
Ending the practice of coaches calling timeouts from the bench in live-ball situations.
Tightening the 10-second backcourt rule, under which the offensive team has 10 seconds to advance the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt. The following situations, all of which resulted in a reset of the 10-second count under previous rules, no longer reset the count:
The defense deflects the ball out of bounds.
A held ball situation in the offensive backcourt in which the possession arrow favors the offense.
A technical foul against the offensive team during possession in its own backcourt.
Eliminating the five-second "closely-guarded" rule while the ball is being dribbled.
Allowing for technical fouls to be called on players who are determined to have faked a foul while reviewing for a flagrant foul.
Allow video replay of shot-clock violations throughout the game. Previously, this type of review was limited to only the final 2:00 of the game and in overtime.
"Class B" technical fouls, such as hanging on the rim and delay of game, now result in one free throw by the non-violating team instead of the previous two.
Requiring that a timeout taken 30 seconds or less before a scheduled media timeout break (which are at 16:00, 12:00, 8:00, and 4:00 of each half) become the media timeout. This particular change had been made in NCAA women's basketball effective with the 2013–14 season.
Stricter enforcement of resumption of play after timeouts, and reducing from 20 seconds to 15 seconds the time allowed to replace a disqualified (fouled out) player. Teams will receive a delay-of-game warning after the first violation, and a Class B technical foul for each subsequent violation.
Dunking will be allowed during team warmups and halftime.
An experimental rule allowing players six personal fouls instead of five will be used in all national postseason tournaments except for the NCAA Tournament.

those all seem reasonable

i kind of liked that they couldn't dunk in warmups tho

aj english of iona hit 13 threes tonight

so, people who watch college basketball, how good is ben simmons?

I watched one game, and he was pretty impressive because he is a lanky dude with good ball handling and passing. He wasn't holy shit Durant level though.

seems to have had a good game tonight. In the marquette game, he deferred to his teammates too much. the shot chart seems to just say "I was bigger than everybody else" https://twitter.com/espn/status/672250996605722624/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

so espn has decided that their college bball pages should just be team's official twitter feeds with a tiny schedule column on the left.

finally got a good game outside of the opening weekend.

@dick_nixon 41m

The girl from the Villanova band, the one who cried, she's a lovely girl. We've met. She is at school to be an eye doctor.

thought villanova was the best team i saw this year when they crushed the canes, happy to see them win. just a really ideally built team that plays the game optimally.

jenkins in partic was impressive, i haven't seen a ton of him so i don't have a great grasp on the rest of his game but you have to think that size & shooting is a tad dramondy

That's the best title game I've ever seen. Poor Marcus Paige, such an amazing shot. Did all he could.

Congrats to Nova though, I don't think they missed a shot the entire tourney.

crazy finished i watched it at the gym and everyone was hollering

crazy bad D on the last possession tho literally like an unobstructed 7 foot pass for an open three

put it in the basketball dictionary next to dont help one pass away

cut to crying jordan pls

his reaction was extremely disappointing

tho they def waited way too long to cut to him

Always good to wake up and see that UNC lost. It's going to be a good day.

An almost perfect follow up to last year.

am i crazy or did the confetti cannons sound maybe a bit too similar to when the bombs went off at the soccer game during the paris attacks

def is too loud & likely unnecessary, I recall the title game a few yrs back when pitino was scared by it

they sounded kinda like gunshots, i freaked out for a sec

wld be a cool idea to execute the losing teams, raise the stakes a lil

yeah the sound was pretty scary

btw i thought jay wright's reaction was really lame, act like you're excited a little

am i crazy or did the confetti cannons sound maybe a bit too similar to when the bombs went off at the soccer game during the paris attacks

kinda crazy to me how soon after the shot went in that they sounded

maybe next year just let the confetti softly drop :)

LOL

lol chuck watching it on tv while its going on behind him

also needless to say wonder how much he had riding on nova

just remembered Rafferty's awkward dig on chuck during the game

what did he say?

someone said 'nova guy hitting turn around jumper looked like Chuck, and Rafferty chimed in with "but he looks like he has a trainer" or something like that. It was awkward because nobody laughed even though he said it with gusto.

i dont really like rafferty. onions was funny at one point but now he calls on it too much

so the line on the women's championship game tonight is 26.5 points

Over

crazy bad D on the last possession tho literally like an unobstructed 7 foot pass for an open three

Didn't watch this live but I was extremely confused by the defense. Like that's a very standard play for last second shots! The trailer always gets the ball and there's no need to double the ball handler!

berry should have gotten on hick's shoulders and caught the shot

lmao uconn women about to hold syracuse to single digits at halftime of a national title game
